I do not have this machine. I guess it would be nice if you do not have any dies from Spellbinder, Cuttlebug, Tim Holtz, or any of those. You would not be able eo use them. The plate you buy will only fit in those machines.

There was a review on one of the message boards that read there was a 30% return rate on these as the plates do not always feed properly and they will get stuck and then you are out of luck as it can not be returned for that reason.

This is my opinion. I do not feel it is worth it. If you want a wider embossed area for your projects purchase the fuse or the Grand Caliber-at least you have the opportunity to use other dies that are readily available!

Thanks so much for the information; I would never buy a machine like this at that price. I'm so glad to know the 30% return rate on the machine (for future reference). Again, I just don't think it does all that much to warrant paying the price for it.

I have the eBosser and I love it! You can use all of the embossing folders you already own in it. If your "sandwich" is too thick, it will stop and back out preventing from ruining the machine. Just take something out of the sandwich and send it back through. It gives really beautiful and deep embosses and also cuts through many layers. I don't know why Annabella said you can't use your Cuttlebug, Tim Holtz, etc. dies in the eBosser because you can.

I have the eBosser and I love it. And YES, it can cut with any of the dies out there on the market. I have many Spellbinders, Sizzix, etc. , many different types of embossing folders and it works with everything! You can cut a few layers at a time if you are cutting more than one copy. It is very powerful. The only drawback is the fact that it is a bit noisy.

You can use ALL Embossing Folders and Dies.

The machine will prevent the plates from going through if they do NOT fit. The EBosser is actually one of the safer Embossing & Die Machines out there.

I do not have one but I did a lot of research on it. I would love to have one but I can't justify the cost since I have a Cuttlebug and Vagabond. Perhaps you have it confused with something else, or you were given incorrect information.

I apologize for giving the wrong information concerning this machine!I never found any info that you could use "other" dies in this machine.I'm still looking, but am very sorry if it steered you wrong.

Can someone tell me what dies you can use in this machine? I'm sure you would need some sort of attachment to have these other dies work. Are you able to use Sizzix Alteration dies? They are larger dies and Tim Holtz has many of them out there.

Consumer Reports is where I got the return information.

As for use of the other dies, I never read that you could so I figured,(WRONG!!!!!) that they just couldn't be used.

I just purchased a Vagabon and I love it! No more cranking for these old arms!!!!

You can use all the other dies out there that you own. I'm not sure about the Sizzix Alteration dies as I've never seen or used them. You don't need an attachment to use other dies. The sandwich would be different, that's all.

I have an Ebosser and I love it !! Yes - you CAN use all sorts of dies and embossing folders with it. I love the 8 1/2" x 11" embossing folders where you can emboss a whole page to make cards with them ! I had a Vagabond and it broke after 1 year and they wanted $125. to fix it !! I also have 6x6 and 8x8 folders that you cannot use in a Cuttlebug.

No problems with jamming the machine if you make your sandwich according to directions....I think the people with the problems were not reading instructions and wanted to blame it on the machine.

eBosser is very good machine and easy to use. I sell this machine in my online store and I didn't have any return http://www.smallcraftmal...p;pricelo=&pricehi=. You can use most of die cuts, you can't use Sizzix Pro die cuts. If you will make decision to buy the Grand Calibur, please remember that this machine doesn't work with Sizzix Bigz die cuts. If you like big machines I think sizzix big shot pro is the biggest manual machine. However, I tested the eBosser and I like this machine. If you have any question, I will be more then happy to help you.

Lots of good information here; thanks everyone! I would love to have a bigger embosser than my little hand cranker, but again, I wouldn't be able to afford this. I'm sure it is well worth it given the fact you can use so many other things with it.
